request of the Mi.-sionary So
oiety for tin Propagation of the
Gospel to the Heathen.
This was not the first time
"Christians" objected to sharing
"their" mes.-age of life and joy
with other men. Unf irtunately,
it was not the la?t time. The
story is told that not so long
ago a mission offering was be
ing taken in a chureh. A- the
offering plate pa- e<i a certain
individual he -aul, "I'least ex-
cu.-e nie. 1 never givt to mis-
sions."
"Then take a little out." t|ie
usher replied, "this - for the
heathen."
"The (Jo-pel For Ml Men!"
we declare, yet all men have not
heard the (iosp« I t becaus<
some rivers an- too wide to
cros.- ? Is it that some moun-
tains are too steep to climb? So
many have found it so. Hut
boundaries these separat-
ing barriers an- not geograph
ical. They are personal. They
are not physical. They art- pir
itual. mental. They are not found
on the earth which met inhabit,
but within the men who inha-
bit the earth; Yea. in those men
who have usurped the larth'
The early Christian- (Act-
io to 11:1M found themselves
with a rnes-agi which wa-
grcater than they It was great
er than the nation of which they
were a part. It was the me.--age
of their Ixtrd w no had died for
all men. They were the instru-
ments, the heraid- of that rues
-age. They could not be true to
that message if they «hut out
any man from it- beauty and
•1- of clay, they |
worth outside of
the message, the tna-ure they .
bore. They could riot b< true to ■'
the mes age and stand aloof
from the men receiving the i
me: -age. Neither could they, u *.
-landing afbof, be true to th« *
recipients. They saw what an ' I
| utter contradition it wa- to
"el; people of a wonderful, lov-
ing Lord who bend* over every
broken, -in battered soul, and ! jf
then refuse to do likewise The s>
truth spoken by their lips would;|
j be given the lie by their heart.-, fc
Thi« led to their re interpret
ing and evaluating what theyji
had considered common and un |
clean. If God, through Hi- an- |
gel, could enter into the home J
of the kind they had hitherto |
.despised, then how could they b
refuse to allow God, through!!
them, to enter likewi e into such
homes. Peter, and the brethren
with him. had too much of the
spirit of their Christ to with
! stand (iod So Peter did that
which -tartled the Jerusalem
church much more than his bap
, tizing of Cornelius and his
household. He went into thi-
home and ate with them! Peter
j teils us (Acts 10:20 and 11:12)
that twi< e (;< !'- Spirit laid it
i on hi- heart as to w hat he
hould do, "doubting nothing."
The word translated "doubting"
[ means "di; ' mction," or "discrim
ination." P« ter wa- under the
compul.-ion of the Spirit of God
to make no distinction or dis-
crimination in regard to these
people. Ir Act- 11:2 we read
that tho.- e who objected to what
Peter did, "contended" with him
Th< word um*I in the original
is the same word ti an«lated
["doubting" These objectors, un-
• 11 they jiw the light, mad<
distinction, they discriminated
And until they did see the
light, their prejudice made them
overlook more important mat
Iters. They "completely over-
looked Cornelius' experience of
the redeeming grace of God in
! Christ Je-us by faith " They
even overlooked the fa«t that
Corneliu: had been baptized and
received into the Christian
church! All tM had been over
looked becau-e their attention
wa centered on a rather petty
matter, Peter's associating and
eating with men "not in his
das." They had not a yet
learned what Peter had learned
which caused him to ay to
Cornelius, "God hath shewed me
that I should not call any man
common or unclean," Acts 10:20.
Right here we are at some
thing very fundamental. When
God showed Peter this, Peter
no longer had contempt for peo-
ple whom he had falsely conii
deied not in his class. Contempt
b always involved in a feeling
of superiority superiority we
think we merit. Hut God's sal
vation is for all men without
distinction because God loves all
men and doen not have con
tempt for any man. Any "go-
pel" which would forbid a man
eating with another man cannot
b< a saving gospel becaust it
has contempt at its heart. God
i- inteiested in saving men, not
in upholding then taboos. Soiih
I men had rather be in hell with
! their taboos, than to b< in heav-
en without them.
Tin Christian Gospel is the
mo t revolutionary messagi ever
to be known. Th< heathen at
Fphcsus. i- rioting against
Christianity, cried out, "The.-e
that have turned tin world up
. -ide down have come hither."
It i- revolutionary because it is
, a gospel of love, not just for a
few, but for all. There is noth
ing more revolutionary than thi
kind of love 1- is the key that
I unlock the si i ret of our natun
We need lt in-tead of the ,-abr«
I rattling we an doing, lie who
does not love, dot .- not livt . for
love, somehow, i- the very cen
ter of our being. The source of
I all bitterness i.- lovele-sne-s It
i tin darkness that keeps the
; Gospel hid. that keeps it from
hieing exported and shared with
all men. This world (to para
j phrase I)o-toevsky) will i>< re-
urreited in the light of love or
I it will succumb in hatred "Lov<
is a many splendored thing." but
lo\. is never a "stand-offish"
thing, lt is anything but that
I.ovi that which get u i,del
